Will Ethan get Isabel trained in time for their first mission together?
Ethan
Ethan Roberts is our first point of view main character, and it is cool to see things through his perspective. He has been with the Guardians of Time since he was little. Ethan's skills help him do things that he probably wouldn't have done in the first place. Ethan is an awesome character. His perspective on some things shows us how easy it has influenced him to use one of his powers to show Isabel accidentally. This may break some more of their codes of conduct. Each time though, he felt that it was needed to be done. I like this character a lot, and I can't wait to see what else goes on with him.
Isabel
Isabel Becket is our other point of view main character. She doesn't know about her unique talents besides being able to heal when Isabel yells at herself to heal a wound that she accidentally gives herself. Isabel is a newbie to the Guardians of Time, and she has a lot to prove to them. Not only that, but Isabel needs help with using swords and other things that she may need to use in the past. That is because Isabel must protect herself in the past besides healing her fallen friends. I liked Isabel a lot and was rooting for her in both perspectives to get something right or to see reason with what Ethan was telling her.
Five Stars
The Named by Marianne Curley is the first book in a remarkable series that I have been dying to read for a while. I loved this book immensely. It is set in Australia, which is foreign to this American. But my brain immediately transfers any words that look a bit weird to what I would typically say. Ms. Curley has done a fantastic job of writing this book and I am off to read to the next book, The Dark, soon. My rating for The Named by Marianne Curley is five stars, and I am giving it a huge recommendation for this entire series for any young adult fantasy readers out there.
